Chapter 370: Tan Min

Lin Che smiled and nodded: "You're right, the spire boat is indeed like a tumbler in the sea in a way. ”

"If there is no hurricane weather, there is basically no possibility that the spire will sink to the bottom of the sea."

"And the sails of the spire are soft sails, which are very suitable for windless sailing, not only are they fast, but they also require less taxes than hard sailing ships, which is a very suitable ship for colonial trade."

It's not that Lin Che is deliberately exaggerating, the Europa Spire's soft-bottomed galleon.

It's really this thing, it's indeed the best long-distance ship before the steel battleship.

After Zhu Bai was excited, he asked with some concern: "Sir, since the new sea ship you designed has so many advantages, wouldn't it be useless if it wasn't our ship for the Ming Dynasty?" ”

The warships of the Ming Dynasty were considered large warships in the world, and the cost was not cheap.

If it turns into a pile of scrap wood because of the appearance of a new ship.

Isn't that all the money spent before in vain?

"What do you kid think?"

Lin Che didn't understand Zhu Bai's strange thinking at all.

He picked up his pen and said, "It's not difficult to change a flat-bottomed boat to a sharp-bottomed boat. ”

"Just change the position of the keel, and then translate the position of the mast, and change the way part of the deck is laid."

"It will be able to transform a treasure ship that can only sail near the sea into a warship that can run rampant across the sea."

The drawings drawn by Lin Che this time are the best iteration of treasure ships made by later generations of treasure ship enthusiasts according to the development history of ships.

Moreover, there are local tyrants who have built treasure ships in the same way, and have also carried out various launching experiments.

It was found that the data of this ship in all aspects far exceeded the invincible warships that were blown into the sky by the major powers in the era of sail warships.

"The new type of sea ship can not only sail in the deep sea, but also require less tax on board than the treasure ship."

"And now Daming's ship can be upgraded without barriers."

In the secret room next door.

Zhu Yuanzhang had some suspicions that he had misheard.

It wasn't until he subconsciously repeated what Lin Che said.

Zhu Biao, whose face was full of shock, was relieved from the incredulity.

He swallowed and said, "Father, you heard it right, Mr. Lin did say so. ”

Liu Sanwu, who was standing on the side, was also shocked in his heart at the moment.

You know, they are only in the court today, and they have encountered the problem of a shortage of sailors.

As a result, he didn't wait for Zhu Fan to bring it up.

Lin Che couldn't help but talk about this problem himself, and he also drew a drawing of a new type of ship.

What kind of evil is this?

Liu Sanwu didn't know if Lin Che was a coincidence, and he wanted to talk about the water master.

Therefore, the problem of sailing can be long-distance if there are not many sailors in advance.

Or his method of divination, which has reached the point of being unpredictable.

So that the Ming Dynasty can be discovered at any time and encounter new problems.

Although the three people in the secret room next door have not seen the drawings of the new ship.

But they had already admired Lin Che more and more, his knowledge as deep as the vast sea.

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a moment, and then ordered to Zhu Biao: "Boss, after getting the blueprints of the new ship." ”

"In addition to the warships on daily patrol, the remaining ships of the sailor division must be transformed as Mr. Lin said."

"Moreover, the sailors must also speed up the recruitment and training, and I must form a new fleet before Hu Yunqiang returns."

If you want to say that Zhu Yuanzhang conquered the Japanese country before, he was only seventy percent sure in his heart.

Now there are drawings of new ships that are more resistant to wind and waves provided by Lin Che.

He already has ninety percent confidence that in the future, the Ming soldiers will not die in the waves of the Wa Kingdom.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart is full of eloquence.

didn't notice at all that after Zhu Biao heard his will, the bitterness on his face couldn't be erased.

Remodeling the ship is a trivial matter, and it only takes the silver to be sent.

Just keep an eye on them and follow the drawings.

But the problem is with the sailors.

After all, no matter how few sailors a ship needs, it needs dozens or hundreds of people.

And now Da Ming can't find an old sailor who has become an establishment.

From now on, until the start of the war against the Japanese kingdom, I am afraid that it will still be half-baked.

However, the murder did not wait for Zhu Biao to complain to Zhu Yuanzhang.

More than suddenly, Zhu Bai's curious voice sounded.

"Sir, although your methods of transforming the treasure ship are skillful and exquisite, our Ming Dynasty has been forbidden to the sea for many years."

"Where can you find so many sailors who can skillfully steer ships and sail far away."

"Unless, you can come up with a quick fix for training qualified sailors."

Zhu Bai's question is intentional.

On the way to the Imperial Prison today, Zhu Fan talked about this topic when he discussed the course with Zhu Bai.

Zhu Bai wrote down this matter, wanting to have a sense of existence with Lin Che and Zhu Yuanzhang at one time.

Lin Che's face was suddenly full of question marks.

He felt that his students were too serious in some places.

It's a very ordinary dedication and mouth.

What did these two guys do, as if they really wanted to build a navy. 、

Lin Che couldn't help but complain: "Most sailors rely on experience to eat, how can there be a quick way." ”

As soon as these words came out, the expectation in Zhu Fan's eyes instantly turned into disappointment and shock that could not be concealed.

Because in his memory, no matter what problems his husband encounters, he can give solutions to them.

Never before has it been so straightforward to say that it is impossible.

Lin Che was stabbed by Zhu Zhang's disappointed gaze.

He couldn't help but be even more speechless in his heart.

I thought about it.

Lin Che still gave an alternative answer.

"Although I can't train a quick sailor, when I am in the coastal area of the Ming Dynasty, there are hundreds of thousands of people begging for a living."

"They have been surfing the sea since they were young, they are completely unafraid of wind and waves, and they are also familiar with all kinds of hydrology."

"With a little training, they can become a good group of sailors."

However, Zhu Zhang's eyes did not change at all.

He shook his head and sighed: "Sir, although there are many fishermen along the coast of my Daming, they are not willing to serve the imperial court, so..."

"Who told you about fishermen?"

Lin Che interrupted Zhu Zhang's words angrily.

He knocked on the kid's head and snorted, "I'm talking about the Tan people who live off the sea. ”

Tanmin is too far away from a prince like Zhu Zhang.

So much so that after Lin Che said the word.

He also asked in surprise: "Sir, what is the Tan people?" ”

And in the next secret room.

Zhu Biao had already explained to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Father, the predecessor of the Tan people was the Baiyue tribe, and they have lived on the boat since the Qin period. ”

"They make a living from fishing and rarely interact with the people on the shore."

"Because it is not beneficial to the Ming Dynasty and cannot pay taxes, the household department will set up a separate register of its clan household registration."
